Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate the effects of oriental medical treatments and Chuna treatment on patients with pain and limited range of motion(LOM) about shoulder subsequent to scapular fracture. Methods : Two patients suffered from pain and LOM about shoulder after scapular fracture, one is scapular body fracture with multiple rib fractures, the other is only intraglenoid fracture were treated with Chuna therapy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, physical therapy and measured by VNRS(Verbal numerical rating scale) and ROM (Range of motion). Results : After oriental medical treatments and Chuna treatment, we found out a recovery from two patients suffered from pain and LOM about shoulder subsequent to scapular fracture. Conclusions : Through this study, we suggest that oriental medical treatments and Chuna treatment were effective to cure patients with pain and LOM subsequent to scapular fracture.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to determine how long superior screws alone or in combination with posterior placement of metaglene screws protruding and penetrating into the scapular spine in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty affect the strength of the scapular spine in a fresh cadaveric scapular model. Methods: Seven fresh cadaver scapulas were allocated to the control group (short posterior and superior screws) and seven scapulars to the study group (spine base fixation with a four long screws, three with both long superior and long posterior screws). Results: The failure load was lower in the spine fixation group (long screw, 869 N vs. short screw, 1,123 N); however, this difference did not reach statistical significance (p>0.05). All outside-in long superior or superior plus posterior screws failed due to scapular spine base fracture; failures in the short screw group were due to acromion fracture. An additional posterior outside-in screw failed to significantly decrease the failure load of the acromion spine. Conclusions: The present study highlights the significance of preventing a cortical breach or an outside-in configuration when a superior or posterior screw is inserted into the scapular spine base.

Six months after undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) a 73-year-old woman sustained a periprosthetic scapular spine fracture following a fall. She was treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), followed by botulinum toxin injection into the deltoid muscle to temporarily minimize strain at the fracture. Fracture union was achieved by 3 months, with excellent clinical function more than 1 year following fracture fixation and full resolution of deltoid function. Scapular spine fracture following RSA can be treated with ORIF and temporary deltoid paralysis using botulinum toxin in the immediate postoperative period to safely support fracture healing.

목적: 견갑골 체부 골절의 수술적 치료 결과를 분석하고자 하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 7명의 환자를 대상으로 수술적 치료를 시행하였다. 견갑골 외측 경계가 100% 전위된 경우, 관절와가 $25^{\circ}$ 각변형 되거나 1 cm 이상 내측 전위된 경우, 견갑골 체부와 쇄골 골절이 동반된 경우를 수술적 치료의 대상으로 삼았다. 남자가 5명 여자가 2명, 평균 나이는 49(40~58)세, 평균 추시는 11(6~24)개월 이였다. 두 명은 다발성 늑골 골절과 척추 골절을 동반하였다. 기능적 평가를 위해 UCLA score 와 Korean shoulder score, 술 후 주관적인 만족도를 이용하였다. 결과: UCLA score는 평균29(17~33)점 이었고 평균 Korean shoulder score는 86(63~94)점이었다. 환자의 주관적인 만족도는 10점 만점에 7.7(4~9)이었다. 합병증으로 정복된 골절의 소실 없는 나사못 이완이 1예에서 관찰되었으며 관절와로 돌출된 나사못으로 1예에서는 교환하여야 하였다. 결론: 심하게 전위된 견갑골 체부골절에서는 견관절 및 견갑흉곽관절의 생역학적 이상으로 인한 견관절의 운동 장애를 예방하기 위해 수술적 치료가 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

To evaluate the effects of Korean medicine and Chuna treatment on patient with pain and limited range of motion (ROM) after scapular fracture. Patient was treated with Chuna manual therapy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, pharmacoacpuncture, cupping therapy and measured by ROM, visual analog scale (VAS), shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), American shoulder elbow surgery scale (ASES), Korean shoulder score for instability (KSS). After the 3 weeks treatment, the patient's ROM, VAS, SPADI, ASES, KSS scores were improved. Rehabilitation program including Chuna manual therapy can be effectively used to improve scapular fracture patient's pain and symptom during rehabilitation period. Therefore it is recommended to use Chuna manual therapy for the improvement of movement and pain from fracture.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is an ideal treatment for glenohumeral dysfunction due to cuff tear arthropathy. As the number of patients treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty is increasing, the incidence of complications after this procedure also is increasing. The rate of complications in reverse shoulder arthroplasty was reported to be 15%-24%. Recently, the following complications have been reported in order of frequency: periprosthetic infection, dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, neurologic injury, scapular notching, acromion or scapular spine fracture, and aseptic loosening of prosthesis. However, the overall complication rate has varied across studies because of different prosthesis used, improvement of implant and surgical skills, and different definitions of complications. Some authors included complications that affect the clinical outcomes of the surgery, while others reported minor complications that do not affect the clinical outcomes such as minor reversible neurologic deficit or minimal scapular notching. This review article summarizes the processes related to diagnosis and treatment of complications after reverse shoulder arthroplasty with the aim of helping clinicians reduce complications and perform appropriate procedures if/when complications occur.

1년 4개월령의 수컷 푸들견이 외상으로 인한 우측 전지의 통증과 들림 파행증으로 내원하였다. 정형 검사와 방사선 검사상에서 내측 견관절 탈구와 견갑골 골절이 확인되었다. 이두근의 힘줄을 작은 결절로 전위시켜 상완골에 고정시켰다. 이 교정은 잠재적인 관절의 퇴행성 변화의 원인이 될 수 있으나 본 환축에서는 3 년 이상의 관찰기간 동안 좋은 결과를 보였다.

Background: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for glenoid fractures with scapular extension, and investigate the radiologic and clinical benefits from the results. Methods: We evaluated patients treated with arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous screw fixation for glenoid fractures with scapular extension from November 2008 to September 2015. Fractures with displacement exceeding one-fourth of the anterior-articular surface or more than one-third of the posterior-articular surface in radiographic images were treated by surgery. Clinical assessment was conducted based on range of motion, Rowe score, and Constant score of injured arm and uninjured arm at last follow-up. Results: Fifteen patients with Ideberg classification grade III, IV, and V glenoid fracture who underwent arthroscopic-assisted reduction using percutaneous screw fixation were retrospectively enrolled. There were no differences in clinical outcomes at final follow-up compared to uninjured arm. Bone union was seen in all cases within five months, and the average time to bone union was 15.2 weeks. Ankylosis in one case was observed as a postoperative complication, but the symptoms improved in response to physical therapy for six months. There was no failure of fixation and neurovascular complication. Conclusions: We identified acceptable results upon radiological and clinical assessment for the arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous fixation. For this reason, we believe the method is favorable for the treatment of Ideberg type III, IV, and V glenoid fractures. Restoration of the articular surface is considered to be more important than reduction of fractures reduction of the scapula body.

목 적 : 견갑골의 골절 유 무와 외상에 의한 탈구를 진단하는데 있어 견갑골의 정측면상의 영상을 얻는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 견갑골 측방향 촬영시 한국인 성인을 대상으로 견갑골의 정측면상을 얻는데 가장 적합한 회전 각도를 알아보는데 있다. 대상 및 방법 : 견갑골의 촬영을 위해 내원한 환자 30명(여 8명)을 대상으로 하였고 이들의 평균연령은 35.4세(15세부터 66세)였다. 수동각도기의 거상각도를 $32^{\circ}$, $37^{\circ}$, $42^{\circ}$로 하여 전 후방향 촬영하였다. 영상의 평가는 전문가 5명이 내측연과 외측연의 완전겹침이 있는 영상은 4점, 내측연과 외측연이 불완전 겹침이 있는 영상은 3점, 견갑골체 내측연과 외측연이 겹침이 없는 영상은 2점, 내측연과 외측연이 사방향으로 나타난 영상은 1점으로 4단계로 나누어 blind test를 하여 평가하였다. 결 과 : 평가한 각도별 평균점수는 $32^{\circ}$가 $1.53{\pm}0.39$점, $37^{\circ}$가 $3.83{\pm}0.15$점, $42^{\circ}$가 $2.17{\pm}0.43$ 점으로 나타났다. 또한 가슴둘레가 100 cm이상인 군과 100 cm이하인 군 간에는 유의한 차이가(p<0.05) 없었고, 남자와 여자 간에도 역시 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 및 고찰 : 지금까지 견갑골 정측면상을 얻는데 적합한 환자의 회전각도에 관한 연구가 없었으나, 본 연구를 통해 검사측을 $37^{\circ}$회전하며 검사측 상완골을 반대쪽으로 들며 촬영하는 것이 한국인 성인에서 견갑골의 정측면상을 얻는데 가장 적합하다는 결론을 얻었다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 견갑골의 측방향 촬영을 하는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
